'seaside town' is the definition.
'barrow in furness' can be an answer for 'town' (I have seen 'Cumbrian town' mean 'barrow in furness' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'barrow in furness'). I am unsure of the 'seaside' bit.

'pub fight getting heated we hear' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'fight' becomes 'row' (I've seen this in another clue).
'getting heated' becomes 'in furnace' (getting heated in a furnace).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'infurnace' is a homophone of 'infurness'.
'bar'+'row'+'infurness'='BARROW-IN-FURNESS'

'in' is the link.
